WORLD PREMIERE

Lionel Retornaz
France
2018 / 0:28:00
2017. Somewhere in Ecuador. As the everyday begins to lose its substance, a discerning voice endeavours to describe the experience of the journey. The gaze becomes steeped in the passing landscapes, the tone remains cutting and distinctly ironic. A film very freely inspired by Ecuador, a book by Henri Michaux.
